Vladimir Putin makes surprise visit to Crimea one day after ICC issued arrest warrantCommercial vessels, including those that are part of Black Sea grain deal, wait to pass the Bosphorus strait off the shores of Yenikapi during a misty morning in Istanbul on Oct. 31, 2022.The extension was announced by the United Nations and by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but neither confirmed its length.
This is the second renewal of separate agreements that Ukraine and Russia signed with the UN and Turkey to allow food to leave the Black Sea region after Russia invaded its neighbour more than a year ago. Poorer nations that depend on imported food priced in dollars are spending more as their currencies weaken.The crisis has left an estimated 345 million people facing food insecurity, according to the UN's World Food Program.
